RoseDiTucci, formerly of Arlington, MA, passed away peacefully at the age of 97 at Masconomet Healthcare in Topsfield, MA on Monday, February 12, 2018. She was the beloved wife of the late Alexander F. DiTucci, with whom she shared more than 40 years of marriage. Rose was born on April 5, 1920 to the late Carlo and Virgina (Miele) Petricone.

Above all, Rose put family first. She loved holidays, family celebrations, her grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. She loved cooking and teaching her family how to make her Italian delicacies. She was generous with her time and love. She was wise, courageous, and kind. She always enjoyed being with younger family and friends, listening to them without judgment and dispensing timeless words of wisdom about life and family.

Oh, we send love and many prayers to all the DiTuccis, especially Paul, Sue, Allie and Lili, during this time of so many memories.

Rose was a special friend to the Ganley family, always so warm and enthusiastic and welcoming. She shared her love with our daughters Rose and Julia as if they were her own grandchildren. They adored her cooking and laughter and stories and singing. We will miss her sweet presence.

Rich and Paul, our condolences go out to you and your families. Thank you for contacting us in Florida. The friendship that was shared by "Amie" Mamie and Rose was very special. Even being away from Massachusetts for 2 years she would still say "I wonder how Rose DiTucci is doing". Memories are wonderful, and our family has many happy ones to remember your Mom and Dad and you boys by.

How very blessed your family was to have such a wonderful mother. May she rest in peace and may your family be comforted by the special memories you have.

Rose and I shared a bunch of good laughs when I would drive her home to Arlington after a party at Paul and Sue's house. She told great stories and I loved hearing them. We have all benefitted from her wonderful cooking and baking and how she passed that along to anyone who asked. I remember her coming to camp Winni just after Melissa was born. She really enjoyed camp life and all the people. What a rich legacy of love she shared with everyone!Much love to all of you!Barb

Aunt Rose, How I loved and admired your laughter, spunk and delight in family and the gift of cooking and sharing a meal together. I remember when you visited your sister ( my grandma) in Oregon on a few occasions. These were laughter filled times whose memories make me smile to this day! Much love and such loving memories with you. Nancy Stevens
